>Are there commercial operators who harvest trees specifically to cater to turners? I've purchased a couple of blanks and wonder about how they were obtained. I have this image of somebody, spotting a beauty of a tree, dreaming of blanks for bucks, and then hauling out the chainsaw.....yuck.
Can anybody advise how to avoid this if it is a practice? (basically, since I'm new to the hobby, I'm interested in dried blanks)
